I HAVE THE COPPER UGLIES 😭😭

[HereKittyKitty]

Noted! Thank you. I’ll order some SoonJung moisturiser today ☺️

I use 10 Free Moist Emulsion. It is super gentle.

so thats what ISR stands for!

I’ve seen a few posts on GLOW/KLOW but not many where people actually share their results at the end of a cycle!

I have insanely sensitive skin too if that’s helpful, like breaking out in small hives from using strongly scented moisturiser type sensitive haha. I’ve found my hips to be the best place, avoid stomach at all costs 😂 also my ISR have gone down a ton since I started. I avoid pinning my butt because I do a lot of office work and feel like that would bother me a lot

Injection site reaction ☺️
From what I’ve read it’s quite common with ghkcu

✨ UPDATE ✨
It’s been about a week or so since I posted this. I stuck with it, lowering my dose a little bit and upping my morning KPV.
MY SKIN HAS CLEARED UP!!!! No more breakouts or little boils. Huzzah!! My skin is so soft and nice now, I’ve noticed a reduction in my fine facial lines as well. Goodbye Botox, I no longer need you. It’s worth mentioning I’m on Reta as well, the goal being to lose 10kg, 4kg of which is already gone, and I swear the loose skin around my stomach (from carrying my daughter all those years ago) is less loose and wrinkly than it used to be. I wish I took a photo of the before because I never thought THAT would improve without a mini tummy tuck, but here we are 😍😍

See, there ya go! Trust the process!

At least you had an excuse, with the copper.... Some people are just born that way 😂 the natural uglies are far worse than the copper uglies!

Could these breakouts be your body telling you to stop. Like you are having an allergy issue with the drugs.

I actually use topical copper peptides as well! I’ve been using a serum for years now, never had any problems. If anything I’ve found it calms the redness I get after a hot shower. I’ve reduced my tret cream (retanoid) usage to twice a week now too.

I just recently picked up some 0.5% Tazarotene cream from India Mart. I’ve only applied it once. I’m going for three nights a week. I’m going to alternate with GHK cream. Glow for the rest.

I’m hoping your “copper uglies” work out for the best! I hate acne.

From what I’ve read it’s fairly common with ghkcu from the copper, my skin has all cleared up now with a slight reduce in dosage and adding a morning KPV pin in 😍

My copper uglies are all gone 🥰 I posted my update on it this morning!
I’ve gotten slack with my tret cream lol my goal was every 2-3 nights. I have store bought copper peptide serum and hyaluronic acid serum I use twice a day but when that runs out I’m making my own with ghkcu and snap8 so I’m keen to see how that goes!!!

I have never heard of boils being a symptom of the "copper uglies". It's usually dull, saggy, flaky, or blotchy skin. But there is no real medical definition of copper uglies, more of a colloquial term for adverse skin reactions. It definitely could be some sort of reaction to it though. 2mg daily is a moderate dose, but within the tolerable range for most people. You might be sensitive. My wife is extremely sensitive to a lot of peptides and some pins that would barely be considered a microdose will cause her to break out in hives. Mots-C is particularly bad for her and even 200mcg gives her a reaction. So if you suspect it's the GHK causing this, the best advise I would give would be to cease administration until it clears up. After that you can try again at a lower dose to find your level of tolerability with it. Or switch to topical applications and see if that is better for you.

Thai you, I am quite sensitive to a lot of things. This thread/post is active again because I posted my update which is that my skin has cleared up 🥰 I slightly reduced my dose and added more KPV into my routine and they’re all gone now! I use topical copper peptides too, have done so for years and it works wonders.
